Has Charge (magnitude) Lost Value Since Big Bang?

[nuby]

Has charge (magnitude) [edit] lost some of its value since the time of the big bang? If so, what's the theory behind this?

 

[Vanadium 50]

The answer to your first question is no.

 

[nuby]

Then, when does the Planck charge show up in nature?

 

[Vanadium 50]

It doesn't.

 

[nuby]

What is the significance of the Planck charge?

Its value seems to be a key part of some physical constants including the electric and magnetic constants. It must be in nature somewhere, right?

No. It's no more and no less natural than a Coulomb.

 

[nuby]

No. It's no more and no less natural than a Coulomb.

Can you say the same thing about the rest of the Planck constants?

 

[Vanadium 50]

Nuby, what are you getting at? You clearly have something in mind. Can you just say it?

 

[nuby]

It just seems like Planck charge is the odd balll out of the Planck units. Why isn't the Planck charge value used instead of the elementary charge value, so the coulombs force constant could be derived?

 

[Vanadium 50]

What does that mean? You can write Coulomb's Law using any units for charge that you like. Number of electrons, coulombs, esu's, lots of things.

Like I said - it's clear that you have something in mind. Spit it out, man! I'm not going to waste any more of my time trying to guess what you are asking. Say it clearly or not at all.
